Name

The name of the bridge is derived from the former name of the street Soyuza Pechatnikov, which was Torgovoy. In the newspaper "Sankt-Peterburgskie Vedomosti" the name Sredny Bridge was recorded in 1797, however, since 1798, the street name Torgovy was established instead. [3] [4]

History

Torgovy Bridge was built in 1783–1785 according to the standard design for the bridges of the Kryukov Canal: a three-span wooden bridge on supports of rubble masonry, faced with granite, the central span was movable, the side ones were girders. The author of the project is unknown, the work was carried out by the contractor Nikolai Egorov. [5] In 1805–1810, the drawbridge span structure was replaced. In 1868, the bridge was overhauled. [6]

By the end of the 1890s, the bridge was in an unsatisfactory state. Since 1896, the city council had repeatedly sent requests to the Duma to allocate funds for the overhaul of the Torgovoy Bridge. [7] The magazine "Nedelya stroitelya" reported in 1900 that the carriage traffic on the bridge was closed and the council planned to rebuild the bridge into a single-span concrete bridge. [8] In 1905, after the collapse of the Egyptian Bridge, the Duma allocated funds to repair the bridge. [9] In the summer of 1905, the wooden girders of the bridge were replaced with metal I-beams, and the masonry of the abutments was fixed. [10] [11] Technical supervision of construction work was carried out by engineer P. A. Likhachev. [12]

In 1946–1947, due to the thawing of the supports and damage to the granite cladding, the supports were partially shifted. [13] In 1960–1961 the bridge was overhauled according to the project of architect A. L. Rotach and engineer A. D. Gutsayt. [14] New metal beams were laid for the superstructure. The wooden planks were replaced with a reinforced concrete slab. The street lights on the bridge were restored. [15]
